Went out to celebrate our anniversary last night, and we went to Sticky Fingers since we had a date there in college. I told the waitress about my allergy and OMG she was great! She even knew what it was! She went and got the Manager who had a list of all the foods w/Gluten in them and I cross referenced the menu and was able to eat with my husband, son and no fear of CC! Next time I am taking my own bbq sauce and seasoning (he said to go ahead!) and I can have ribs!

It was a great first experience eating out and I am SO HAPPY about it! Any other great days yesterday? I know I can't be alone lol.

It was a great first experience eating out and I am SO HAPPY about it! Any other great days yesterday? I know I can't be alone lol.

I've rarely been out or gotten take out since being gluten-free but I have a few places I know that I can trust. One is a Vietnamese restaurant near me that knows all about food allergies. They are always very attentive and ask lots of questions and know lots already but they make sure that they have covered all of your food allergies. Another is a bar-restaurant I go to sometimes with friends and I know a few of the meals are safe and I have asked so what do you put in the sauce and they have happily found out. I have never gotten sick from there.

But today I went to the market to grab a few things. Dave's Market now has a prepared food section, you know live people with pizza and mexican etc. Well none of it is safe except for the sushi bar. I have a real love for eel (yummmmmmmmmmmm) but they usually put this spicy sauce on it which contains soy sauce. Well, the lady who was preparing the sushi asked me if I had any questions and I told her and she made me a tray of dragon rolls without the sauced and made sure that I didn't have an allergy to nuts or seeds. And she left out the soy sauce packet but gave me extra wasabi (yummy) and ginger. I was really in the mood for eel too ... and now I can have it.

I am so happy that you had such a nice, safe dinner and esp. on your anniversary too!!

I remember that your hubby is being deployed soon and that makes it even nicer as there is one less thing to think about on such a special evening :)

Congrats on your anniversary and on your first successful meal eat.

May there be many more of both!!

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
